Sector Calculator

Enter radius and angle — sector area and arc length update instantly.

Formula

Area = (θ/360)·πr²   |   Arc length = (θ/360)·2πr   (θ in degrees)

Example

r = 100 mm, θ = 90° → Area = 7854 mm², arc = 157.08 mm (exactly a quarter circle).

FAQ

How is a sector area calculated?

Sector area is the fraction θ/360 of the full circle area. For θ in radians: Area = ½·r²·θ.

What is the difference between arc length and chord length?

Arc length follows the curve; the chord is the straight line between the endpoints. They are equal only for tiny angles.
